Abstract

This paper offers an insight into the nature and impact of fatigue through the triadic perceptions of patients with advanced cancer, family members or friends, and health care professionals involved with their care.Their views were accessed through a case study undertaken at a cancer centre and funded by Macmillan Cancer Relief. The aim was to identify aspects of the experience that may be amenable to future nursing intervention.
